The people who don't have one say that. Try a different technique to dropping the clutch. Give it loads of revs, keep blipping the throttle and let the clutch up (fast but not dumped) as you floor the throttle. Seems to work on my Gtir, good for low 1.8 60fts with no wheel spin anyway from around 5000rpm. I tried dumping my clutch when I first got the car, but it bogged 3 times then started slipping , not had any problems since.

NO THEY CANT

They can run more power to the rear, upto 75% i think, but CANT run FULL RWD....

Thats reserved for the likes of GTRs etc...

Will probably find it launchs with the rear wheels, but the front wheels are still driven at the same time, but prob only 25%, then the distribution is more evenly spread between the fronts and rears after it gets going

FULL TIME 4X4 i tell ya

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! they are very quick upto 60-70mph due to gearing and they launch very well. They are NOT that quick on the roll though.

Awesome on a tricky road and a great track car as well.

I love them, BUT you are talking serious crap

I suggest you do the following...

1. Take off Caps lock.
2. Engage your brain
3. Take your OWN advice!!!!

They CANNOT run 100% RWD. THE END!

No way they can run 100% rear wheel drive, I know two people with them!

And agreed on the point after 60 they are pants. Even my Corsa can beat them

well if it's that fast then just race him from 100 mph rolling start as the RA's run out of speed at 125mph

the gearing on them is so low so they have sweet acceloration and shite top end

I can imagine a photoshop of even more quality than the Ebay ad for a Turbo-Zet where it was shown on a boost pipe of a foooookin Bugatti EB110

And then in the ad it said "cannot use on turbo cars"

Shame a EB110 has 4 of em

Or a photo of the adj centre diff knob with a post-it note with RWD wrote on it

The torque split will go pritty much to the rear, and if you boot it, it will go sideways etc... But it WILL NOT go 100% RWD.

Thankyou!

Like i said, how do you KNOW it goes into rear?

Because it goes sideways?

Trust me, in the most rear biast setting they VERY tailhappy when provoked, but FAR from RWD...
